I dont think that way. I've never ever been bothered by men..that way. I guess I dont attract creepy guys in a sex way. I never have.

Neither have I; I've never been hit on. But I still get bothered occasionally by men who are "just trying to be friendly" who don't seem to realize that I don't have an obligation to talk to complete strangers if I don't want to. Just because I'm sitting on (or waiting for) public transport doesn't mean that I'm there to entertain them.

The only people I got proactively concerned about as a single traveling gal on public transport and on the street was groups of teenaged males wearing their "group uniform".

Yeah, groups of young men make me uneasy; if there's at least one female in the group, her presence is likely to defuse the danger, but youths together in a pack are much more likely to egg each other on in harassing people. By "youths" I don't mean teenagers, but those close to or in their early twenties. I guess because the legal adult age here in Australia is 18, I don't think of 18-19 year olds as "teenagers", even if they are technically so. When you say "teenager" I think of someone about 15, and I don't feel threatened by anyone who is that young.
